After two years at Consignment Lounge in Chicago, the author has developed a fondness for various amari, except for Campari, which remains unappealing. Despite enjoying it in cocktails like the Jungle Bird, they prefer alternatives such as the White Negroni. However, after a long prep shift, the author found themselves craving a light, slightly bitter drink and experimented by incorporating Campari into an Americano. This creative take, influenced by the founder of Ferrari, led to a refreshing and delightful drink that they now cherish for warm days.
The combination of Fernet-Branca and Campari created a perfect balance in the Americano riff, offering a deliciously bittersweet option for refreshing summer days.
After years of not being fond of Campari, I finally found a way to appreciate it in the Americano, blending with sweeter notes beautifully.
